You have so much pain inside yourself that you try & hurt yourself on the outside because you want help.

All people want to be touched.

Helping people in need is a good and essential part of my life, a kind of destiny.

Don't call me an icon. I'm just a mother trying to help.

I remember when I used to sit on hospital beds and hold people s hands, people used to be shocked because they d never seen this before. To me it was quite normal.

It's not sissy to show your feeling.

It took a long time to understand why people were so interested in me, but I assumed it was because my wonderful husband had done a lot of wonderful work leading up to our marriage and our relationship. But then, over the years, you see yourself as a good product that sits on a shelf and sells well. People make a lot of money out of you.
